I wonder why this forum still has 200 plus pages if droid tool is expired ...wastage of time here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Donphillipe:
WwR_MTK plus SP Flash is supposed to produce a scatter file but I haven't been able to make it work yet (not a good scale of measure since it took me months just to do a basic sync with the phone via USB drivers trial and error). Otherwise I have found it's extremely hard to find someone with experience reading flash from phones; writing only seems to be the norm. It's puzzling too since a read of the ROM seems the logical backup method without root or other modifications which will never restore the phone in its pre-rooted form.

Now regarding the Wwr_MTK, and I've lost the link that works for a non-malware version, but like many Android tools you'll have to wade through the wasteland of the majority of links (even here) that have been hacked with overrides to idiot "answer these 100 panels of questions and not only will you receive a free xyz phone but be able to download your desired app", so it's hard to make your way around what seems to be a dying hobby, rooting, backing up and working with these phones.

In other only slightly dressing news - What I started to experiment with is attempting to get a ROM backup by downloading a scatter file from a factory backup, originally hoping the scatter file could be used as reference to pull an image out of a phone, with a plan to restore to another non-broken version of that same model phone. However I couldn't find anyone who even knew how to use the scatter file memory location parameters to enter into the SP Flash tool to pull the image off a severly damaged phone. I logged the inquery in 3 different spots and have received no answer.

The Read Back function of SP Flash, along with scatter file creation - very few seem familiar with, if not zero of the people who respond to these posts. It's likely more of a hobby than a help niche.

Good luck with your quest and let me know if you make any progress.

Philosophically speaking, what was MTKDroid to us, if it was not ROM backup?

Loving MTK Droid for what it was, the many ways we did love it and the pain of losing it can never really be expressed here or otherwise, regardless of which tread we express that loss in. Nor can we express the true agony in trying to obtain an alternative.

MTKDRoid is a lot of things more than just ROM Backup.

This thread is only about MTKDroid. Nothing else.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Donphillipe:
Why is there no effort to revive this tool or with no development to add fixes why would it be actively protected for subject-drift or why would anyone continue to monitor it?

You cannot revive/update this tool because no source is available.

thanks for such a detail sharing ...You are absolutely right there is not much exact info or procedure related to rom back on certain chips...personally I hate boxes if you have PC then I think there is no other tool needed for programming or reprogramming ..I am searching & will keep searching until I find the answers to any possible solution & I 'll definitely post it here & everywhere else I could &.... for droid team here who are keeping posting that this thread is for droid tools only I would like to say please read carefully my question if you cant not my fault I asked again & again why droid tool is not rooting a working mtk 6580 chip with android 5.1 ....I dont know in which world is living but it's 2018 ending & almost 90 % android users don't use kitkat versions any more so if you are not helping stop this thread because every time i search on the internet this comes first why to waste time reading 230 pages which are useless for most people ? I wish they could answer that instead posting "I believe that the discussion about ROM backup should be forwarded to other thread/discussion. Not here.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinaypundith:
Will this tool work with an MT8392? I know it is fairly intercompatible with the MT6592 because the stock firmware has MT6592 written in build.prop. However several functions of MTK Droid Tools are grayed out, like the Backup feature.

Is there some driver I am missing?

Also, when I click the ROOT button, my device just reboots and the tools software says "Failed. Expecting reconnection of device". Any ideas why?

I'm also not seeing the 'to use boot from phone' option while using this software to make a custom recovery.

If MTK Droid Tools has been abandoned, is there any other way for me to backup my ROM without a custom recovery (none are available from my device)? My end goal was to get the boot.img and recovery.img from my device.

Thanks.

I know it only says that it is compatible with MT6592. But like I said, the 8392 and 6592 seem to have intercompatible firmware! I know that my different processor could be a problem, but I wanted to know if that is what was causing the functions to be grayed out.

he did a reset on the phone after that IMEI invalid so no IMEi he cant call or send sms

i instaled the adb drivers and presed root in your app and the phone is rooted now (i supose since i got superuser root exploer and mobileuncle tools in app drawer)

you can use MTK Droid Root & Tools to replace IMEI number, and if you don't see the IMEI number printed on the back of the phone (behinde Battery place on phone body) then just imagine a number of 15 letters. example: 355627898654356

open MTK Droid Root & Tools and front windows click on replace the IMEI and then reboot, it'll work then.
